Smart Sole

For my final project in "PS70: Introduction to Digital Fabrication" at Harvard, I engineered an insertable shoe sole capable of tracking a runner's gait. An array of calibrated force sensitive resistors (FSRs) sends data to an ESP32 Feather Arduino microcontroller, which enables Wi-Fi communication with a live database for real-time visualization of gait on a java-based user interface.
